Knitting: two pairs of socks.

Here are my two most recently completed sock projects! The first ones I actually finished back in May but never posted here because I was so frustrated with how lackluster the photos kept turning out. These socks are really so vibrant in person, but I feel like they're impossible to take pictures of. They're plain socks with the heel from Hermione's Everyday Socks. The yarn is from Old Soul Fiber Co. and I picked it up at Black Mountain Yarn Shop on our honeymoon! I love how these turned out.

The second pair are once again, plain socks with the Hermione heel. (I just think this heel looks so pretty!) I wasn't very happy with these at first...I didn't like how the colors were pooling, especially considering how pretty this yarn was caked up. But they've grown on me! The main yarn is from HauteKnitYarn, which I bought last year at Carolina Fiber Fest. The colorway is called Bright Copper Kettles, so of course that drew me in. :) The yellow contrasting yarn is KnitPicks Stroll Tonal in the Poppy Fields colorway. I love how perfectly it matches the bits of dark yellow in the other yarn!
